I have a Western Digital External USB Disk Drive. Recently the logo under my computer ( running XP Home with SP 2 ) vanished. I contacted WD and they told me to create a folder directly on the root of the drive. They gave an example of E: AUTORUN. I have no idea how to go about doing this.

Hi. What to do is create a Shortcut, which is usually done by right-clicking on the desktop, and selecting new, and then shortcut. A window will appear and ask you where to point the shortcut to. Click on Browse, and find your way to the drive, click on it, and click on next. Once it makes the shortcut, you should be able to double click on it and view the contents.

I did what you told me to do. I assigned it a new drive letter under disk management. NOW everything is back to normal. Thanks to both of you for your help. I never would have figured it out. THANKS again...
